Getting active with cardiovascular activities is a great way to not only maintain your physical health while much of the nation is sheltering-at-home but also reduce the stress you may be feeling from COVID-19.
When someone talks of cardiovascular exercise, you might think of long training sessions spent on a treadmill, a stationary bike or even an aerobics class with lots of spandex. But with gyms across the nation closed due to the Coronavirus outbreak, those options may not be available to most Americans. Luckily, we have an indoor workout solution that maximizes your effort with a short 12-15 minute workout.
When we talk about cardiovascular fitness, we aren’t talking about those typical physical fitness methods. We are talking about maximizing the benefits of cardiovascular fitness with creative training based on how the body works, different system synergies, and how to effectively train within them. If that sounds complicated, don’t fret. We’ve done the research and here are the cliff notes you need to know about the body:
Knowing these important components of your cardiovascular system can help you understand how to target specific areas of the body to maximize exercise benefits to each. But identifying unique exercises directed at each component would be time-consuming and involve significant research.
Good news! We’ve done the leg work and created a “Game Changer” workout that is a new way of training your cardiovascular system. Our workout includes short bursts of intense exercise with minimal rest designed to get your blood pumping. Plus, as a bonus, all of these exercises can be completed right at home, inside or outside, so they are perfect for breaking a sweat and improving your cardiovascular health during the COVID-19 pandemic.
For 12-15 minutes perform the following movements in a succession, with no break.
It may seem simple but that’s the point.
